TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 09, 2017) - BRIO GOLD INC. (TSX: BRIO) ("BRIO GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated mineral reserve and resource at its Riacho dos Machados ("RDM") mine which includes a 37% increase in mineral reserves when compared to the Company's prior mineral reserve estimate in contained gold ounces. Based on these new reserves, Brio Gold has developed an optimized mine plan demonstrating a longer mine life and lower operating costs. All Dollars are in US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
"This will be a transformative year for RDM as we implement our new mine plan," said Gil Clausen, Brio Gold's President and CEO. "We have re-engineered our RDM mine to reduce life of mine costs and maximize cash flow in a year where we are investing in its growth. We are expanding the plant from 7,000 tonnes per day to 9,000 tonnes per day and replacing the mining contractor that used a small scale and low productivity mining fleet by investing in an owner-operated larger scale mine fleet that best fits the operation."
Mr. Clausen added, "This new life of mine plan adds approximately three years of open pit reserves and provides economies of scale in the mining operation to optimize the profitability of extracting that larger reserve. Despite lowering production in 2017, this new plan is net asset value accretive and it improves cashflow this year and into the future. These improvements along with the recently completed water storage facility and power line to be constructed, should make RDM a solid producer for many years to come."
Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource
During the latter half of 2016 and into this year, Brio Gold has completed approximately 5,990 meters of diamond and reverse circulation drilling, which has been incorporated into an updated mineral reserves and mineral resource as provided in the tables below. The overall mineral reserves increased by 37% when compared to the prior December 31, 2016 mineral reserves estimate (in contained gold ounces and adjusted for first quarter production).
The mine plan is based on open pit mineral reserves and stockpile mineral reserves only. The Company plans on exploring the underground potential below the current pit in 2017 and believes significant upside exists.
Life of Mine Plan
The Company has updated the RDM mine plan as a result of a larger mineral reserve and mineral resource and through optimization initiatives. The new mine plan economics are based on a gold price of $1,250 and Brazilian Real to USD exchange rate of 3.5 to 1. The enhanced mine plan is expected to result in more efficient mining, increased waste and ore productivity and lower operating costs. It also includes the benefit of the water storage facility that was completed in early 2017, which is expected to provide reliable water supply, as well as the power line that will connect RDM to the power grid. Installation of the main power line and substations continues on schedule and the right of way approvals for the powerline have been received. The power line is expected to be commissioned in Q2 2018.
Following the completion of the power line and additional minor modifications to the crushing circuit, the plant throughput is expected to increase from its current run rate of 7,000 tonnes per day to 9,000 tonnes per day and cash costs are expected to substantially decrease as a result of significantly lower energy cost and economies of scale. Further, in preparation for the plant expansion, Brio Gold replaced the primary crusher in the first quarter of 2017 and plans to replace the current conveyor belts with wider belts, add another tertiary crusher and larger mill discharge pump in the second half of 2017. No additional structural or design modifications are necessary for the conveyor change.
Brio Gold is transitioning from contractor mining to full owner mining and has begun preparations for the plant throughput increase to be completed in Q2 2018. The Company has already demobilized its stripping contractor, which utilized small scale construction equipment. The Company now plans on building up the mining fleet in 2017. The RDM mine already owns and operates a fleet of larger owner-operated trucks, excavators, drills and ancillary mine equipment for mining ore. A mine stripping fleet is to be acquired to mine waste rock more efficiently and productively, as well as at a lower unit cost.
Overall the optimized mine plan has been developed to maximize the cash flow at RDM over the life of mine with increased average life of mine production and lower cash and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC").
The life of mine production plan is provided at the end of the press release in Appendix 1. Average annual production over the life of mine increased 3% when compared to the prior mine plan. A summary of the operating parameters based on the new mine plan is provided below.
Operating Costs
Operating costs are expected to improve in 2018 and beyond. When compared to the prior mine plan, total unit operating costs have decreased by 17%, cash costs decreased by 14% and AISC decreased by 7%. Average life of mine costs expectations are summarized below.
Capital Costs
The Company is targeting to commission the new grid connected power line in Q2 2018, replacing the current lower capacity diesel power generators, which is expected to reduce costs, improve grind/recovery and expand mill throughput. The connection to low cost grid power will complete the plant expansion to an operating capacity of 9,000 tonnes per day from 7,000 tonnes per day. Capital costs include approximately $7.2 million for the construction of the power line and substations and approximately $2.5 million for the remaining plant modifications both of which are expected to be incurred over the next 12 months. Construction of the water storage facility is now complete and was built on schedule and on budget for $13.5 million. Capitalized stripping is included in the all-in sustaining costs referenced above. Total capital required to purchase the new mining fleet is expected to be approximately $43.9 million, with the majority to be spent in 2017. The Company is currently assessing various options for acquiring the mine stripping fleet, including purchase and lease alternatives, or a combination of both. Brio Gold anticipates funding any purchase costs with debt.
Revised Guidance
Brio Gold is modifying its production and cost guidance for the RDM mine. 2017 will be a transition year as the new enhanced mine plan is implemented. For guidance purposes, the Company also assumes that the processing plant at RDM will be down for three months in 2017 due to drought conditions experienced in the latter half of the recently completed rainy season. The rainy season usually occurs from late September to early April. Although the new water storage facility was able to begin to store water in the latter part of January, the second half of the rainy season in the region of the mine experienced near record low rain. Had the water storage facility been completed at the start of the rainy season, the operation would have had more than sufficient water to run uninterrupted.
The Company expects 2017 production to be 50-65,000 ounces of gold. The lower end of the production guidance range assumes that it will not rain again until the next rainy season and the top end of the production guidance range assumes a normal rain forecast for the remaining year. The lower production forecast in 2017 is expected to be compensated for in future years as reserve ounces are preserved for the lower cost of production starting after Q2 2018. As a result of the completion of the water storage system, Brio Gold expects to have in all future years, a reliable water supply for consistent production.
A summary of the revised three-year outlook for RDM is provided below:
Qualified Persons
The mineral resource and reserve estimate for RDM was prepared by the Company and verified by Roscoe Postle Associates ("RPA") in accordance with standards as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") "CIM Definition Standards-For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves", adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014. Mark Mathisen, C.P.G., is the Qualified Person for the Mineral Resources. Stuart Collins, P.E., is the Qualified Persons for the Mineral Reserves and mine plan. Messrs. Mathisen and Collins, who are independent of the Company, have approved the contents of this news release.

In an effort to learn how to better assist
these veterans, the staff of Covenant Promise Ministries evaluated the
local job market and needs of the people within Lamesa. In this
process, the staff identified a shortage of affordable housing. This
type of housing is greatly needed to assist employers as they work to
meet staffing requirements for places such as the correctional system,
hospital, and nursing home.
As a result of this identified need,
Covenant Promise Ministries designed a program to retrain veterans that
would also in turn benefit the community. Through these programs
veterans are taught professional construction skills and provided with
on-the-job training.
In summary, veterans are taught job skills that are
utilized by the building of facilities used to assist the community in
its housing shortage. In addition, CPM, also offers individuals
optional access to a fifty bed co-ed training facility for those
working to complete the training program.

Summer's about more than just beach vacations and late sunsets. The weather outside is heating up – and that means that as a data center operator, it's your job to ensure that your environmental equipment (air conditioning, especially), is made to beat the heat.
After all, with the average cost of data centers on the rise, downtime has never been pricier. A single minute of disrupted service costs an average of $7,900. And even though only 21% of data center failures are caused by heat or weather, is skimping on AC really a risk you can afford to take?
Failures due to heat aren't exactly without precedent, after all. Remember the 16-hour Hotmail outage back in 2013? The 2015 outage at the iiNET data center in Perth? Or how about last year, when a data center failure caused a hospital to descend into chaos?
Given the right weather conditions, DC room temperatures can rise quickly without proper cooling, in some cases doubling within 120 seconds. And it may not even be the heat itself that causes an outage. In Glasgow last December, for example, an air conditioning unit caused the fire suppression system to go haywire, bringing emails throughout the city to a standstill.
Fact is, your air conditioning is as essential a component of your facility as anything else. And you need to treat them as such. If you don't properly maintain your systems, properly protect their electrical feeds, and utilize multiple backup cooling units, you're potentially opening yourself up to significant losses.
Among its other issues, lack of cooling and air circulation can cause:
- Overheating, which may damage essential server components
- Automatic shutdown and unexpected downtime
- Warranty issues – some manufacturers will refuse to honor warranties if equipment is forced to operate outside of 'safe' temperatures
- Condensation due to rapid temperature changes – which can in turn cause catastrophic hard drive failures.
- Permanent loss of data or revenue
Now more than ever, you need to ask yourself: is your environment safe? Are you doing everything you can to keep things cool? Thankfully, these aren't questions you need to answer on your own – provided you choose the right host.
The Liberty Center One Solution
Maintaining a data center can be a complex, intimidating, and time-intensive process – and if it's one that your business isn't equipped to manage, that means losing out on productivity. We can help. When things heat up at our facility, our robust environmental systems kick into gear, keeping temperatures in our data rooms to the latest ASHRAE standards no matter what it looks like outdoors.
And even if you aren't hosting with us, we can provide you with a backup system. That way, in the event that the AC in your current facility does fail, your information will be safe with us. We'll ensure that a copy of your data can be accessed, minimizing both downtime and data loss.
It gets better, too – right now, we're in the middle of our Summer back-up storage special. When you sign on as a client, we'll give you up to three months of free storage, up to 100 TB, at no additional cost.

How annoying are these commercials?
You make it...you wait for it?
Come on! Anyone that is a professional coffee drinker has it on an automatic timer and LOVES waiting for a good cup of coffee. If you don't drink it every day, you actually enjoy going to get it at Starbucks (and will pay for it) because it is a treat and it tastes amazing. 5 hour energy? Disgusting. No one drinks that garbage on a daily basis.
I have consumed these little shots of energy and they make my stomach hurt but they do make you stay awake (on long drives, etc...). But these commercials are making me crazy!

5 Hour Energy Drink
2 comments:

I love brewing coffee it smells so good. I will wait.
$2+ for an ounce of liquid that isn't going to get me drunk seems like a waste.

I miss coffee more than I should. I love the smell when it is brewing and the taste. SO GOOD. Decaf just isn't the same so I hardly drink it.
I would NEVER drink those 5 hour energy drinks and you are right, the commercials are annoying. Terry drinks them sometimes when he has work and class from 6am - 10pm and needs a pick me up....but to drink every morning in place of coffee is just silly.
I don't think these are good for you at all.

Climb Every Cushion
I decided to try out one of the activities, which I shared in a recent issue of ZimbabaNEWS, with my little girl this afternoon, and what fun we had! I began by scouring the house for anything remotely 'cushion-shaped' and then piled them all up in a stack for a safe, fun climbing activity. Needless to say, I used the biggest, most stable ones

VDZ+A has been selected by the city of Vancouver, to administer the Design, and Construction of a new neighbourhood park in Vancouver. The park - located at 17th & Yukon streets, will add needed open space to this west side neighbourhood. VDZ+A is teamed with Horizon Landscape Contractors, to bring the project to life in Spring/Summer 2017. Look back for progress images.
VDZ is proud to announce that our team has expanded once again. In Support of our Landscape Architecture team, Ms. Jennifer Wall has joined the design team. Jennifer has worked within the Lower Mainland, providing landscape architectural design consulting on public and private landscapes. Jennifer will be focussing her efforts on developing the Gardens of Gethsemani Cemetery Masterplan, West Vancouver Safety Building Developments, and Clayton Heights Secondary School Campus. Welcome Jennifer!Also joining our team in the month of November is Mr. Eric Galt EIT. Eric is a civil engineer in training and has ample experience in design, and construction administration of commercial and residential clients. Eric will be joining our civil team and providing support on the Aldergrove Recreation Centre, Calgary Skateparks, and 17th & Yukon neighbourhood park. Welcome Eric!
VDZ is happy to announce two new additions to our capable team of Landscape architects, designers, and civil staff. This past month Ms. Phoenix Chan joined us from her previous posting at Ekistics, Toronto. Phoenix has worked in southern China, Halifax, and Toronto. Here areas of expertise are large-scale planning, Site-specific design, and advanced graphics. Also this month, Ms. Milana Malesovich will be joining us from Hamilton, Ontario. Milana has worked in private practise in Southern Ontario, and most recently as the Design Head for a large design-build landscape construction firm.

So seeing as my striping hasn't been up to par with what I'd like it to be I'm practicing on the technique. As you can see my striping still isn't that great I need to be quicker taking the tape off as well as in the right order.
Here I have Essie Blanc as my base. I did an ombre effect for all my nails. Pinks used were Zoya Micky and Yana, Oranges used were Zoya Poppy and Stella.

The photographic ramblings of a Boston based photographer, mom, & cardigan collector.
What's the first thing that comes to mind?
Is it ice cream?
((Javaberry from Dairy Twist in Pembroke is my personal fave))
Is it hot dogs?
Or maybe hanging at the beach?
Well, this is pretty much what I think of come summertime:
BUT, I also think of beach portraits. I know Summer is busy with sports, cookouts, play dates, and family vacations but grab a spot now for your Summer portrait. Keep in mind, for the best light, beach portraits should only be shot just before sunset (or at sunrise if you're feeling ambitious) so there are only a certain amount of sessions I can book for beach portraits. Book now and we can plan YOUR session.
Here's a sample of beach photos from last year.
Have fun, stay hydrated, wear your sunblock, and get in touch for your Summer portrait!
Share, like, comment, all that bloggy stuff.
Wait, what, where am I?
I was either at the Arnold Arboretum today on an absurdly warm, Fall day or I hit my head and landed in some magical, fairy tale land. I can't really tell from these photos, it could go either way. Normally, when I'm shooting in November it's pretty much against my will and I have on my puffiest, warmest winter coat, gloves, and a hat. This weekend the weather was in the 60s and a lot (not all) of the trees had retained their leaves. This is not normally the case. It's usually more like a barren wasteland of sad, scraggly trees and the temps are below freezing.
This is usually me shooting in November:
Here's a quick sneak peek for Lori and her fam who I should note are battling the flu. They've pretty much been sick all Fall and we've already had to reschedule once. They rallied this afternoon and we ended up with some really great shots. #thanksibuprofen
And these two ridiculously gorgeous girls! Ugh....I can't stand it. First, my niece Kylie.
I really feel like it looks like she's in some enchanted kingdom or something. The light, the leaves, the trees. It's magical kinda, no?. And I love this girl. She's kind, smart, thoughtful, funny, I could go on and on.
And here's her little sis: Miss Adrianna. Smart, sweet, and lovely in her own right. It's in their blood!
And these 3 kids! Jeez! These ages can be tough but we got some great shots of these cousins. Loving Saoirse's classic, blue, Irish eyes & Cully and Harper are so sweet together. Ummm, did you see Cully in that boss pose? So handsome.
Ok, so go ahead: comment, share, like, all that bloggy stuff. XOXO
So one time about 3 years ago, after I had officially opened the doors of J. Hayhurst Photography, I was trying hard to build up my client list. I tried Facebook and that worked pretty well. I tried word-of-mouth and that was OK too. In one probably poorly executed but optimistic venture, I posted a listing for my sessions on Craigslist. Yup, Craigslist. Thankfully, I wasn't murdered in my sleep. And even better, I gained what would be become one of most loyal and most fun families; we shall call them the H family.
The H family just welcomed a new baby to the fam this past year so we started our session at their house and did some lifestyle portraits in Maeve's room. Look at those shoes! And those beautiful eyes!
After that, we headed to Museum Beach in Scituate. The sun was bright and the wind was strong but we had lots of fun walking around. At one point, Teagan's mom Liz said, "Teags, show Jamie your sassy pose"! And this is the magic that ensued......Silly, yes. Fun, you know it! And I'm actually loving the one on the right. Teags is WORKING the camera, looking right into my photographic soul.
Work it, Teags!
Of course we got a handful of sweet siblings photos. Maeve was a rockstar! No back arching, no fussing. She was just happy to be held by her big sis.
Teagan & I took a stroll to look at rocks and hermit crabs. We made use of the gorgeous light & Teagan's long hair.
So here's to families you meet on Craigslist that don't steal your personal identity and even better, add you to their yearly Christmas card list. Now that's love.
Last weekend we had what I call, a private mini. A private mini is just like a regular mini ((check my last blog post for the definition of a mini)) but set up by my clients. It's basically the Tupperware party of minis. One person gets a bunch of their friends together and we book back to back sessions for everyone. If 6 minis are booked then the organizer get their session for FREE! Jackpot!
So here are some quick sneak peeks for my very patient people! XOXOX
The Jezierskis - Oh Izzy, sweet Izzy! You are one of my Fall favorites! And here's Izzy with her twin brothers, Braden and Evan. I don't want to spoil any future Christmas card reveals but we TOTALLY nailed the family portrait this year! And with any children, never mind TWINS, that's not always easy! This was our year though. Keep your eyes peeled if you're on the Jezierski Christmas card list!
Here's my friend Susan and her son. I just had choose these two photos. I know they may not be classic, posed, photos but I just loved the love in them. These are the photos they'll love having in 20, 30, 40 years.
And Miss Lilly! I shared a few photos of her over on my Facebook page but here's one more of her & her sweet curls!
My Berry Boys - yes, they're mine, I claim them as such! They are the sweetest and kindest group of boys. Fussing, fidgeting, complaining is normal when photographing kids. And it's not something that ever irritates me. It's just part of the process. But with these Berrys, we skip all of that. And then there are handfuls of Halloween candy at the end.
I'm back to editing now. With a few birthday parties for my kids and a beach session for me, I'll be back to the editing grind until I get all of these gorgeous Fall photos edited and out to their new homes.
What exactly ARE mini sessions, you ask? Well, here's the breakdown for those who are unfamiliar with minis: I select a location ((in this case, War Memorial Park in West Bridgewater)) and I book 4 - 6 30 minute sessions back to back. Minis are great for families with little kids. 30 minutes is, generally, plllllenty of time to shoot littles. Let's just say kids can get a little grumpy when a session starts to drag on.
And sometimes, they just zone out....
Minis are also great if you just want a few quick photos taken for holiday cards. In my head, this time of year is known as "Christmas Card Season".
This past Saturday I had an amazing afternoon of minis! Every single one of them was a returning client so I got to see a lot of familiar faces. Here are few sneak peeks so you can all see what a mini looks like.
The Alberts - You're killing me with your cuteness, guys. Come on now....
And next up: The Stantons. I'm so lucky to see these guys once a year! Here's Richie and his ridiculously cute baby sis, Natalie!
Now the Nistas....You wanna see loyalty? They are the embodiment of loyalty. With me from the very start and I see them faithfully every year for holiday photos. I had a crazy surreal moment during our mini when we started discussing Michaela's senior portraits coming up in a few short years!!!!
Next up, Anna & Jimmy. Ummmmmmm, I'm sorry. These two are too gorgeous for me to even really try to write about. Anna's sneak peek was up on my Facebook page the other day:
And so here's a sneak peek of her dashing little brother, Jimmy! #thoseeyesthough #sigh
See, I'm speaking in hashtags - that's how cute they are!
And last but not least, my buddy Richie. Running on a very short nap, Richie was not really feeling his mini. Don't believe me?
But we took a couple deep breathes, Mumma gave him a few hugs, and we kept at it.
TOTALLY worth a few hiccups in the session!
So next time you see me posting about minis, maybe you should grab one?!?!?!

Community Engagement » Community Charrettes
A charrette is an event where people gather to assess a design problem or opportunity, brainstorm solutions, analyze options, and then create conceptual solutions or guiding principles to further the project. "Charrette" is derived from the name of the carriage carrying 19th century French architectural students to their final critiques as they worked feverishly to complete their projects.
Our staff collaborates with such organizations as the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati, the American Institute of Architects – Cincinnati Chapter, The Art Academy of Cincinnati, The University of Cincinnati Community Design Center, and the United States Green Building Council.
Community charrettes, or workshops, can be an appropriate way of engaging a community, increasing awareness of the impact of the built environment on our lives and empowering people to help shape that environment and, thus, their quality of life.
Selected Projects
Bellevue Mixed-Use District Vision Plan
- Managed one 4-day charrette (design workshop) attended by over 100 people
- Gave multiple lectures leading up to charrette
- Led a Visual Preference Survey workshop attended by over 80 people
- Coordinated charrette with out-of-town consultant firm and City of Bellevue staff
- Staffed charrette with architects and urban designers
We created a vision plan that illustrated what the site could be if developed according to a walkable, mixed use philosophy. The consultant team delivered a Smart-code for Bellevue, Kentucky which was adopted in 2010.
Price Landing Park Framework Plan
- Managed three public workshops to develop the conceptual plan for a new park on the Ohio River; these were attended by approximately 70 people.
- Led several meetings with steering committee and consultant team prior to, during and after the series of workshops
- Led workshop sessions; site visits; scheduling and coordination of three consultant firms and City staff
- Staffed workshops with architects and urban designers to create the conceptual plan for the park
Created conceptual plan for the new park; prepared plan document and presentation for advocacy efforts. Park is currently being considered for funding.
Cincinnati Brewery District Master Plan
- Managed a 1-day workshop to gather input from stakeholders on various parts of the neighborhood; the workshop was attended by approximately 80 people.
- Led several meetings with steering committee prior to and after the workshop
- Staffed workshop with architects and urban designers
- Created master plan document and presentation for community advocacy efforts
- The eight initiatives created in the plan are now the projects and goals that guide the Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation's actions.
- One initiative, the Brewing Heritage Trail, is currently approximately halfway through full funding of $5 million.
Cincinnati Form-Based Code
- Managed two, 5-day, charrettes attended by over 700 people
- Delivered multiple educational presentations leading up to charrettes
- Led consultant team preparation for both charrettes
- Led pre-charrette meetings; charrette sessions; site visits; scheduling; and coordination of seven consultant firms, City staff and a steering committee
- Staffed both charrettes with architects and urban designers to create urban designs for four neighborhood business districts
The consultant team created a custom form-based code which was adopted in 2013 and employed in four neighborhoods. Cincinnati became one of the largest U.S. cities to adopt a form-based code. Cincinnati's form-based code won the 2014 Grand Prize – Professional; Best Planning Tool or Process from the Congress for a New Urbanism – the highest award given nationally for such service.
All 4 neighborhoods have catalytic development projects on the horizon, including College Hill Station (which is being developed by Saint Francis Group and designed by glaserworks).
Avondale Choice Neighborhoods Transformation Plan
- Provided support for multiple stakeholder meetings (including one open-invitation event) and client meetings to gather input for creating a Transformation Plan
- Organized site visits and coordinated schedules for two consultant firms, City staff and a corporate developer
- Staffed all meetings with architects and urban designers to create maps and conceptual designs for various locations within the community
Created the Transformation Plan that was integral to the success of a HUD Choice Neighborhoods grant application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 2012, our client was awarded $29.5 million for implementation of the Transformation Plan.

UP, up and away....
The Merchant Village at the WRAL Freedom Balloon Fest....
The GOOD: TONS of people! The last time I saw that many people was at a Rock Festival in Charlotte! It was an insane number of people. My guess is 90,000 on Saturday. When you put your are in front of a fraction of that number, you WILL do well. Friday I did ALL of my sales in ONE HOUR: between 7:15 and 8:15 PM when people had seen the balloon glow and were stopping by the Merchant Village on their way home. On Saturday sales were strong until about 7:00 PM, when they cancelled the balloon activities due to weather. This show currently ranks at #8 on my Top Sales list! Another GOOD aspect was the flexibility of the show organizer (Erin Ramsey). She let me use an open booth to store my back-stock. Also she let vendors move to spaces that were in higher traffic areas. That was a win-win for everyone.

Germany's Hamburg airport was reopened Thursday evening after being closed for over one hour due to field trespassing by two persons fleeing from custody, according to local media.
According to German media Bild, the two persons are deportees who escaped from the immigration authorities' exit custody.
The Focus Online quoted a spokesperson of the Federal Police as saying that the two persons had entered the runway around 7:00 p.m. One of them has been taken into custody while the second are still on the run.
Some of the aircraft were diverted to airports in Bremen or Hannover during the closure. Passengers were stuck in the waiting machines on the tarmac.
At 9:35 p.m., the federal police lifted the blocking of the Hamburg airport, according to FOCUS Online.
Affected by the trespassing, Hamburg airport was temporarily closed Thursday evening with all flights diverted to Bremen or Hannover.

Sen. Bernie SandersBernard (Bernie) SandersPollster: Despite flashy headline, Dems haven't become more supportive of socialism Pollster: Dem party 'rift' won't carry on to midterms Pelosi sees defections from an unusual quarter — the left MORE (I-Vt.) has distanced himself from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonPapadopoulos's wife wants him to scrap plea deal with Mueller: report FBI chief: I'm trying to bring 'normalcy' in 'turbulent times' Senate Intel chief slams ex-CIA director for timing of claims about Trump-Russia ties MORE supporter embroiled in criticism after the death of an unarmed black teenager in 2014.
"If the question is, do I want or need Rahm Emanuel's support for president, with all due respect for the mayor, no I don't," Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate, told reporters Wednesday during a swing through Chicago, according to The Washington Post and other media outlets. Sanders continues to promote his commitment to racial equality in the hopes of winning African-American support.
When asked if Emanuel's "vision for criminal justice reform matches" his own, Sanders added, "I expect not."
Sanders responded to that criticism earlier this month by calling for a federal investigation in to the Chicago Police Department. While he didn't expressly side with protestors calling for Emanuel to resign, he said that "any official who helped suppress the videotape of Laquan McDonald's murder should be held accountable."
"And any elected official with knowledge that the tape was being suppressed or improperly withheld should resign," he said.
Democratic candidate Clinton also supports the federal investigation, but she told reporters in Iowa earlier this month that she's "confident [Emanuel is] going to do everything he can to get to the bottom of these issues and take whatever measures are necessary to remedy them," according to Bloomberg.
Emanuel endorsed Clinton for president in May 2014, several months before McDonald was killed.
Sanders visited the Windy City this week accompanied by Commissioner Jesús García, Emanuel's main challenger for reelection earlier this year who had been endorsed by Sanders.
He also emphasized, both on the stump and during a press conference, the need for criminal justice reform, calling it "one of the most important things that a president of the United States can do."
Rapper Killer Mike, civil rights activist Cornel West, former Clinton supporter and Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner, and co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice cream Ben Cohen also joined Sanders in Chicago.

In a dramatic shift from regular protocol, the mainstream media, liberal Democrats, establishment Republicans and the Intelligence Community are all heaping praise on Donald Trump's decision to fire 60 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airbase. This raises the obvious question: why?
Last week, President Trump gave the order to strike a Syrian airbase that U.S. intelligence reports claim unleashed chemical weapons on innocent civilians.
This decision was a stunning reversal for Trump, who on numerous occasions had jumped to Twitter to caution former President Obama against engaging in the civil war that was raging in Syria.
In 2013, he warned about the optics of attacking Syria.
A month later, he hinted at his future "America First" policy by advising the president to fix his own country instead of sending troops into Syria.
He also repeatedly hammered Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during his campaign for their failed policy related to the Syrian refugee crisis and the Assad regime.
Dilbert creator Scott Adams blogged about the benefits of Trump's strike on Syria. From a persuasion standpoint, they are exceptional.
- Trump disproved the theory that he is "Putin's puppet."
- Trump partly solved for the belief that he is incompetent.
- Conversations with China about North Korea just became easier.
- It may make Iran feel "more flexible" when it's time to talk about their nuclear program.
- It set up Trump's plan for a Syrian safe zone.
- It made Syrian's government more open to a lasting peace in the future.
- Weakening an enemy of Israel makes Israel safer.
However, there's also a disturbing report that Trump's daughter, Ivanka, may have played a significant role in influencing her father to take action. I don't put much credence behind this theory.
Regardless of what his reasons were for calling the strike, Trump will now be forced to walk a fine line on future military actions to appeal to his base and the rest of the country.
Because of his previous resolute stance on the issue, many of his ardent supporters are confused today by his sudden change of heart. But while this move may have alienated some of his followers, it also received high marks from some of his fiercest detractors.
Whether it be left-wing Democrats, pro-war Republicans or the liberal media, they all appear to be jumping on the "Trump Train" after the missile strike, in support of a more long-term offensive strategy in Syria.
But is another drawn-out military engagement in the Middle East the best course of action for this fledgling Trump administration? Three years ago, I believe Trump would have been adamantly against it. Today, I'm not so sure.
Trump stood out among his rivals in the 2016 race by rejecting the mainstream consensus that the United States should intervene in Syria, a view supported by both the neoconservatives of the Republican Party and the liberal internationalists of the Democrat Party.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that few were as pleased to see Trump attack Assad's airbase as Republican Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
In a joint statement, they said: "We salute the skill and professionalism of the U.S. Armed Forces who carried out tonight's strikes in Syria. Acting on the orders of their commander-in-chief, they have sent an important message the United States will no longer stand idly by as Assad, aided and abetted by Putin's Russia, slaughters innocent Syrians with chemical weapons and barrel bombs. Unlike the previous administration, President Trump confronted a pivotal moment in Syria and took action."
Known for being overly hawkish on Russia and Syria, Sens. McCain and Graham have both been extremely critical of President Trump in the past for his reluctance to antagonize our adversaries in the region. The recent strike seems to have assuaged some of the concerns these senators had. Unfortunately, it appears that nothing short of a full-blown regime change will be enough to satisfy them.
But not every politician in Washington, D.C. is supportive of President Trump's attack.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) called the president's decision "reckless" and "short-sighted."
"It angers and saddens me that President Trump has taken the advice of war hawks and escalated our illegal regime change war to overthrow the Syrian government," Gabbard said in a statement, issued Thursday. "This escalation is short-sighted and will lead to more dead civilians, more refugees, the strengthening of al-Qaida and other terrorists, and a direct confrontation between the United States and Russia — which could lead to nuclear war."
On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the "McCains of the world" for hindering a political solution in Syria.
"Anybody who wants to talk to Putin about a political settlement and helping Assad go away, anybody who wants to talk about that, myself included, will be called by the McCains of this world a friend of Vladimir Putin," Paul told CNN's Michael Smerconish. "So, as long as we have that kind of stupidity involved in the debate it makes it very hard to get to what President Obama said and what many other thinking people said that the answer in Syria is ultimately a political solution."
It is now being reported that liberal leaders are calling for someone to primary challenge Gabbard because of her Syria skepticism, saying that she "shouldn't be in Congress." And Sen. McCain went on CNN to mock his fellow senator, Rand Paul, insisting that he doesn't have "any real influence in the United States Senate."
In a comment to The Guardian, Peter McKenna writes that "our media and politicians have reported as established fact the responsibility of the Syrian regime for the use of sarin in Idlib. They have created an atmosphere where anyone who, however dispassionately, asks for evidence of that – or even suggests that the militias on the ground are al-Qaida affiliated and that both al-Qaida and western intelligence agencies have been known to lie and worse – is an apologist for the killing of children."
McKenna warns that "it was in just such a febrile context that we allowed our leaders to destroy the states of Iraq and Libya. But this time the war drum is beating against another world power."
These types of Alinsky-style, McCarthyism fear tactics by liberal leaders and politicians like Sen. McCain do nothing to solve the many challenges that the U.S. faces around the world. Instead, they are designed solely to silence anyone who may voice opposition to another full-scale war.
One strike on a Syrian airbase, in retaliation for a violation of human rights by a tyrannical despot, is probably not going to start World War III. However, listening to the advise of the "McCains of the world" very well could.
If Trump wishes to be successful and fulfill his promises to the American people, he must continue to surround himself with advisers who will tell him the truth.
"The Swamp" is not his friend.

(XLK) Stock Market News for January 7, 2013 – Market News
The U.S economy kept up hiring at a moderate pace in December, giving benchmarks a lift on Friday. The S&P 500 closed at its highest level since 2007 following a resolution to the Fiscal Cliff dilemma and a positive government jobs report. Meanwhile, factory orders were stable in November while the ISM Services Index climbed last month. The technology sector was the only loser among the S&P 500 industry groups.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.3% to close the day at 13,435.21. The Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) surged 0.5% to finish Friday's trading session at 1,466.47. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.04% to end at 3,101.66.The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) plunged 5.0% to settle at 13.83. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were roughly 6.07 billion shares, lower than the daily average of 6.42 billion shares. Advancing stocks easily outpaced decliners on the NYSE; as for 71% stocks that rose, only 26% stocks moved lower.
Benchmarks finished the first week of the year on a high note. The Dow Jones gained 3.8%, S&P 500 surged 4.6% and Nasdaq jumped 4.8% over the week. The blue-chip index recorded its best weekly gains since June 2012. Stocks rallied during the previous week after lawmakers managed to seal a deal on the Fiscal Cliff issue, preventing the economy from sinking back into a recession. The bullish sentiment in the markets dragged the VIX, the market's fear gauge lower for the fourth consecutive day. The VIX plunged nearly 40% in the previous week, logged its biggest ever weekly decline.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that total nonfarm payroll employment surged by 155,000 in December, beating consensus estimates of 144,000. The increase in nonfarm payroll employment was due to gains by health care, food services and drinking places, construction, and manufacturing. Health care added 45,000 more jobs, whereas food services and drinking places accounted for 38,000 new jobs. Employment in construction and manufacturing also increased 30,000 and 25,000 respectively. The unemployment rate came in flat at 7.8% in December. This was below consensus estimates of 7.7%.
Additionally, the U.S department of commerce reported factory orders in November were unchanged from the previous month. This was contrary to consensus estimates of an increase of 0.4% in November. According to the report, new orders surged $0.2 billion to $477.6 billion. Shipments gained 0.4% to $483.7 billion, whereas unfilled orders added 0.1% to $984.5 billion. Orders for inventories declined marginally to $615.2 billion.
The Institute of Supply Management said the non-manufacturing sector expanded in December. According to the report, the ISM Services Index increased to 56.1 in December from 54.7 in November. This was above consensus estimates of 54.5. New orders gained 1.2% to 59.3 whereas the employment index gained 6.0% to 56.3. However, the business index declined 0.9% to 60.3.
Technology bellwether Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) lost 2.8% and was largely responsible for dragging the sector lower on Friday. Apple had lost almost 25% since touching an all time high in September. The Technology SPDR (XLK) lost 0.5%. Stocks such as Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) slipped 1.9%, 0.7%, 0.8% and 0.2%, respectively.

Review: Full Throttle Remastered for iOS
Full Throttle came out in 1995, which means that it predates Steve Jobs' return to Apple, the iMac, the iPod, and the iPhone. LucasArts no longer exists as a game company, and a long-rumored sequel to the game was shelved long before it was sold as a forgotten asset to Disney. And yet, here we are, playing it in the twenty-first century on our phones. Why this game?
Point-and-click adventures have returned to a degree of popularity thanks in no small part to the efforts of indie game companies and others like TellTale Games who appreciate the art of storytelling as an alternative to kill-fests, but why this game?
In a nutshell, Full Throttle is the story of the leader of a biker gang (wheeled bikes, thank you) who gets framed for the murder of the last great motorcycle maker. He has to get back on the road, find his gang, and clear his name.
One one level, Full Throttle is completely bonkers. It takes place in a mishmash of the future and the past where 1950s biker gangs travel deserted highways patrolled by cops in hover-cars, Mark Hamill voices a murderous vice-president, and the central conflict revolves around an engine company making minivans. The main character criticizes modern art, his main interactions are punching and kicking, and yet he's presented as a voice of reason in a world gone mad.
And yet, it is, without a doubt, one of the greatest storytelling video games ever made. However crazy it gets, there is not a moment with the characters that does not feel completely motivated, and as the player explores the world, however strange it seems, every single thing makes sense. While the game is very funny, the humor is motivated by the reality of the characters rather than randomness.
Ben, the protagonist, can interact with his environment in some standard ways: talk, touch/punch, kick, and look. It's this last one where the game can express its storytelling, as Ben's sardonic outlook appraises every object he comes in contact with ("This would make a good mailbox… in hell," he says dryly of a sculpture) or fails to make contact with.
Use the touch icon on your female mechanic and Ben replies "No thanks. She's got a wrench."
As Ben tries to get back on the road and unravel the plot in which he's been snared, your job is to navigate the environmental puzzles that will move him on to the next act, all of which require a healthy amount of lateral thinking. Ben's chopper needs gas, but climbing up a petroleum tower isn't how you'll get it. You'll find the chain that opens the door to the junk yard, but that isn't how you'll get in. The puzzles are difficult to solve, but not completely illogical, and call for a lot of trial and error. This comes, after all, from an era when you went into a game expecting to spend hours trying to figure out how to PUT DRESS ON FISH.
The problem isn't that the puzzles are hard, it's that you might not be able to figure out exactly what you need to do at exactly the right moment. Objects that are crucial to the solution will fall to the ground, unnoticed. Places you need to move to onscreen at particular points aren't marked as locations. In other words, you have to overthink the game, or, more likely, consult a walkthrough (and thank heavens this game now exists in a time of free online hints).
As Ben moves closer and closer to clearing his name and saving his gang, the nutso world of Full Throttle builds to a climax the likes of which we're only now seeing in Hollywood blockbusters.
So Here It Is
Interface frustrations aside, Full Throttle Remastered is one of the most thrilling stories I've ever played, and the question as to why this game keeps being remastered and re-released is easy to answer; it has a smart, funny script with truly unique characters and a slightly askew world that's fun to explore. I'm looking forward to playing it again in 20 years on my cybernetic implant.

Buried at the end of an article in Thursday's Business section is praise for an man appointed as trustee to manage the affairs of low or moderate income residents in a development abandoned by the developer.
This man, Barry Mukamal, championed the rights of families "not capable of fending for themselves against a multimillion-dollar financial giant."
Mukamal spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that might never be reimbursed. I applaud the judge in the case against the developer, who said that Mukamal "is to be praised for his selfless conduct as a trustee acting in the finest tradition of a fiduciary."
There is no glory here, no fame, no front-page news. Just a man with a strong moral compass doing his job.

Blood pressure drugs linked to mortality
Too many blood pressure medicines in patients over 80 could be dangerous if they have low systolic pressure, new European research reveals.
Researchers from several hospitals and universities studied more than 1,100 patients in French and Italian nursing homes, assessing mortality rates along with systolic blood pressure levels and prescribed antihypertensive drugs.
While blood pressure drugs have proven benefits for hypertensive people, "observational studies in frail elderly patients have shown no or even an inverse relationship between BP and morbidity and mortality," researchers wrote recently in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Instead, those whose systolic pressure fell below 130 and took two or more blood pressure medications had a higher risk of death.
The results provide a "cautionary note" requiring dedicated, controlled interventional studies, they said. The risks of so-called "polypharmacy" have long been suspected as a leading cause of premature death among nursing home residents. A previous study in the American Journal of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy, concluded there was a prevalence of polypharmacy among nursing home residents

What is a carer? A carer is anyone who gives unpaid support to look after someone who is unable to look after themselves. Without their support, the person they care for could not manage.
Carers come from all walks of life. They can be any age, male or female, and they can come from any culture or background. They may be looking after a relative, partner or friend who is ill or frail, or maybe injured after an accident; they may be caring for someone disabled or who has mental health issues; or they could be looking after a child with substance misuse problems – there is no template.
Yet, while each carer's situation differs, one thing unifies them all: Carers don't choose to become carers. It is something that just happens, something that they do because they have to, because, if they don't, there may not be anyone else who can. Every carer has a different story, but they all give up their own time to look after someone else.
In Gloucestershire alone there are around 63,000 carers looking after people who need them – and this number is growing. And carers themselves need support, too.
Find out why carers need support

The Center for the Study of Cannabis and Social Policy is proud to announce its first public education event, "The Original Terpestival," on Thursday, July 23, 2015. The festival will celebrate the whole cannabis entourage of compounds at SODO in Seattle.
Terpestival will highlight the role of the terpenoids with education and a competition. CASP is honored to host, for the first time in Seattle, pediatric neurologist Dr. Ethan Russo as our primary speaker. A lover of botanical medicine, Dr. Russo is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on cannabinoid medicine. In 2011, he published the seminal article "Taming THC: Potential Cannabis Synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid effects." His talk will focus on the contribution of the terpenoids to botanical medicine and cannabis, specifically. He will discuss the health effects of vaporization vs. smoking and vaporization of concentrates.
Along with Dr. Russo, CASP's Terpestival launch party and fundraiser will be accepting entries of flower and solventless extract for a terpene exhibition and competition. Flower and concentrates will be analyzed for 40 specific terpenes and awards will be given for Most Terpenes, Greatest Quantity of Terpenes, Highest Limonene, Highest Pinene, Highest Myrcene and Judges' Preference All-Around.
For analysis, samples of flower or concentrate must be dropped off at Phytalab (please call in advance), who is sponsoring the event. COD payment of $100 is required for entries, a portion of which will be donated to CASP. For a flower entry, please supply 10 grams, if possible, for judge's choice and for concentrates, supply 3 grams. For I-502 participants, a two gram sample, as defined by WAC 314.55.083-4 is acceptable.
Finally we are hosting a panel discussion "Market significance of Terpenes: Past, Present and Future," moderated by Dr. Dominic Corva and featuring Kevin Jodrey of the Ganjier, Jeff Church of Thinc Pure, and Michelle Sexton, CASP Executive Medical Research Director and Chief Science Officer at Phytalab. Learn the science from Dr. Russo and with this panel, understand how marketing beyond THC is good for the industry as well as for the producer's "bottom line."
You can also participate as a judge or as a sponsor of the event. By participating in the Terpestival, you are supporting research of the Legal Cannabis Landscapes. For further descriptions of the research that CASP is providing, see the analyses we have worked on.
To purchase VIP or general admission tickets, or enroll as a judge, please visit our Eventbrite page. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for VIPs, 7 p.m. for general admission.
Our proud sponsors are Phytalab, Dockside, Eden Labs, Northwest Leaf, Washington Bud Company, Ganjier, and Terpinator. For more information, email Wendy Maguire email@example.com

Part 1 of 2 CM-126 20-May-97
A soft young voice floods over me
The peace of Jesus be with you, daughter and sister.
Son of the most beloved Mother, I, Bernard, once Abbot of Clairvaux,
am here to teach you [Catalina] things that were confided to Me
by the Highest Wisdom.
The first Christians, when they suffered martyrdom
at the hands of several Roman Emperors,
rose to the height of the first Martyr,
a height corresponding to but not equal to His.
Do you not understand? It does not matter.
Keep in mind that what is being dictated is not only for you;
your Spiritual Director, as always, will explain to you
what you do not understand.
I was saying that elevated in that way,
they were able to initiate from Heaven a vast work
that God entrusted to them in particular.
The work was arduous, but their blood,
united to the Divine blood,
had been able to make fertile the field of their actions.
It was the first Christian martyrs who gave to Christ Himself
the special perfume reserved for divine Victims,
and Christ, in turn, a Martyr and the cause of Martyrs,
valued the perfume of martyrdom of each one of them.
Many Martyrs are unknown
and there are others about whom little is known.
But when all of them become known, that is in Heaven,
then it will be evident how true it is
that the words and the example of Christ have been fertile seeds
that have produced many fruits.
Well then, the story that you do not know is this one:
that exalted to the height of the Divine Martyr,
those beloved and kind Martyrs have gained for unfortunate travelers,
the merit that no less than a tenth of them must be saved at all cost.
This is so that those Martyrs may be exalted
and so that the generative virtue propagated in them by Jesus,
the Head of Martyrs, may be acknowledged in them,
always through the means of divine goodness.
Because of that, this marvelous Grace owes itself to the Blood
that was shed on Golgotha
and to the fact that He has shared
a portion of His own Redeeming power with them.
Is this not a very beautiful story?
But hear what your brother Bernard is telling you now,
because, besides making you sharers in the goodness of God,
today I have come to you in order to teach you
in what concerns the first Martyrs.
Thus it is I must instruct you in the game of littleness,
that is to say, in humility.
Heaven hears your supplications and groans
wherein you beg for humility which is holy, true and also heartfelt.
We are with you
because God wishes to grant you that virtue in abundance.

I wore a button with a QR code of all my contact info to a conference last summer. About 12 people knew what a QR code was. Of those, approximately 2 of them were able to manage to download the appropriate software to their phone and scan it.
@ Tue Feb 15 13:09:48 2011 EST
Yeah, I was kind of afraid that might be the case.
Let me have my dreams, Corvus! No matter how unrealistic they may be!
@ Tue Feb 15 14:46:52 2011 EST
At GDC (and Emerald City ComiCon) last year, we started a viral campaign for a game update via posters that displayed a QR code. Not many people knew what QR codes were, but we only needed one person to know what a QR code is, scan it, post it to the forums, and kick that campaign off. Luckily one person who was at GDC did have this knowledge, and the kick-off happened in short order. Info on the campaign: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/War_in_Kryta_Viral_Marketing Now our community knows what QR codes are, and if we use them again, they'll know that something interesting is up. :-)
@ Tue Feb 15 14:58:15 2011 EST
I like that--you made a game out of it. Which makes sense, obviously, given the audience.
We could stand to use a lot more tools like that in my day job, I think. It's hard to teach people about new concepts and interaction models, but if you can make it useful/fun for them, they'll teach themselves.
Of course, I got started using the QR codes on my card as a selling point for skills that aren't common in journalism. Maybe I should be more careful: if we manage to make them more common, I'll have to find a new way to signify "hip, hireable news hacker." <grin>

Drive-by shooting kills 2, injures 12
Drive-by shooting kills two people, injures 12 outside North Miami funeral home
NORTH MIAMI, Fla | March 31, 2012
A drive-by shooting killed two people and injured 12 others outside a North Miami funeral home after a service for a shooting victim, police said.
Shots, reportedly from a high-powered weapon, erupted from a passing car Friday night as more than 100 people were gathered outside the funeral home.No suspects were in custody Saturday, The Miami Herald reported.
"I was on my way out of the chapel when I heard the shots," said A.D. Lenoir, the pastor who officiated at the service. "I told people to look for cover. It was chaos."
People were screaming and crying, he said.
"It hurts me that after such a moving and stirring message, this happens -- a shooting at a shooting victim's funeral," Lenoir said.
One of the two people killed was shot in the chest, witnesses said. The Herald said one victim was a child shot in the leg.
The service at Funeraria Latina Emanuel in the 14900 block of West Dixie Highway was for Marvin Andre, 22, of North Miami, who had been killed in an earlier shooting, witnesses said.
Police were searching for six men in a white 2006 or 2009 Pontiac or Impala, WSVN-TV, Miami, reported. Anyone with information is asked to call 305-471-8477.

After yesterday's trip to the art museum, I was eager to finish a little creation of my own.
The Pattern: Loosely inspired by the Giotto pattern, GREATLY inspired by Sugaroni.
The Yarn: Two Windows Dye Company, Knitty Bits
The Needles: US 0's
The Verdict: I LOVE LOVE LOVE these socks. I don't know whether it's the simple picot edge and yarn over rows, or the beautiful yarn. The picture doesn't even do the yarn justice. Deb of Two Windows is an indie dyer here in Kansas and her work is AMAZING. (Yes I might have another skein or two lurking somewhere around here!)
